Opisthorchis viverriniis a major public health concern in Southeast Asia. Various reports have suggested that this parasite may represent a species complex, with genetic structure in the region perhaps being dictated by geographical factors and different species of intermediate hosts. We used four microsatellite loci to analyzeO. viverriniadult worms originating from six species of cyprinid fish in Thailand and Lao PDR. Two distinctO. viverrinipopulations were observed. In Ban Phai, Thailand, only one subgroup occurred, hosted by two different fish species. Both subgroups occurred in fish from That Luang, Lao PDR, but were represented to very different degrees among the fish hosts there. Our data suggest that, although geographical separation is more important than fish host specificity in influencing genetic structure, it is possible that two species ofOpisthorchis, with little interbreeding, are present near Vientiane in Lao PDR.
